ST Marine Cuts Steel for Singapore’s Final Littoral Mission Vessels

04 Agustus 2017

ST Marine has cut steel for Singapore’s seventh and eighth Littoral Mission Vessels. The Republic of Singapore Navy is on track to operate all eight vessels by 2020 (image : Channel News Asia)Singapore Technologies (ST) Marine has held a steel-cutting ceremony for the final two Littoral Mission Vessels (LMVs) on order for the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN), the company confirmed with Jane’s on 2 August.The ceremony, which was attended by RSN chief Rear Admiral Lew Chuen Hong, was held on 14 July at ST Marine’s computer numerical control cutting workshop in the western part of Singapore. As part of the ceremony, steel plates for parts of the hull and deck sections of LMVs seven and eight were forged into the required shapes by the plasma cutter, said ST Marine.(Jane's)

What a joke! Astros lmao. Astros cant even destroy a ship!!! It is a MLRS. Multiple launch rocket system. Meant to hit ground forces like army formations or any other ground forces. It is no anti ship missile lol. Dumb generals will use astros as an anti ship missile lol. It has no guidance that is accurate. It is basically just plot your cords fire away. Even a GMlRS fired from a HIMARS wont hit the ship. These are artillery platforms. Not anti ship platforms. How on earth does any mlrs or himars lock on to a ship? This is the Joke of the year.

it cant destroy ship??? hahaha you know nothing ben..this MLRS can be use to destroy almost anything..as an anti-ship,anti-tank,anti-gov,anti-lgbt..this rocket can destroy singaporean f15sg..just wait until the time come..and yau will be suprise with this multipurpose rocket..

As u said. Rockets. Rockets is not equal to missile. Waste time and money to develop a multi purpose rocket esp when it is not possible. U can buy other products that are specifically design for a role which are much more effective. First thing. What does MLRS multi launch rocket system means? Meaning more than 1 rockets can be launch from a system. A mlrs can be 4,6,8,12 rockets. So long it is not 1 it is multi. What main components consist of an mlrs? Rockets obviously, launcher, a vehicle thats it. Vehicle transport the system. The launcher is mounted on the truck. The rockets is placed inside the launcher. So how does it works? Fire thats it. Very simple platform yet deadly never meant to be used for other aspects of combat . It is a rocket artillery system. Simple. How does guide it to a ship when, The rocket itself is not guided. 2 the system that is fire and control does not guide the missile. Just key in cords and fire use as a wide area effect damage against mass infantry. Use it against a ship just silly. 3rd it does not have a radar!!!!. How does one track, identify, target, lock and guide it without a radar!! I am refering to a radar that is use for naval warfare. If not how does ships fire their missile?

no no no..that why i said you know nothing...this MLRS is not a standart version of Astros..Indonesia hv already modified this rocket system with modern hiteh tracking system..indonesia put aesa radar on it..plus it also instict to track human..so,tracking & lock on human also can..this rocket has thust vectoring control too..so it has ability to do extreme manuever like pugachev cobra..this rocket is better than US tomahawk..so you better watch out ben...

My goodness anak. Thats so ridiculous. Why would u want to do that?! When the missile cannot do that? So what if u even modify and have systems that can lock on and u have a radar?!! Pointless! Pugachev cobra my foot. That aint no fighter. Why do u want a missile to do a pointless stunt!!!! Its not a plane. That move is mainly for airshows what the heck. Thats idiocy thinking.

Yes atharu u did. I thought ap was reasonable once when i had a convo with him although he brags i felt he was better than the trolls. Guess not looking at the ridiculous assumptions he made. Im sorry atharu

MrBen jist ignored AP.... trust vectoring???? 1 big astro rocket to locks on human??? So the target is (human)??? I challenge you to attack singapore-malaysia-thailand-aussie-kiwi ETC. You talk and talk and talk but pls back it up... back it up AnakP

yes...finally you figure it out ben...yes youre right about the pugachev..it was for show only..so next singapore airshow,this rocket will replace sukhoi and we welcome you ben to see this amazing rocket..

for other people who hate..jealous with me...stop provok mr ben to ignore me..mr ben is nice person..dont treat him like that..give him a chance to have good discussion with me..

Indeed both look similar. The LMV ship itself is designed locally. Note that the mcmv 80 and the lmv employs the same radar. The radar is by Thales hence that is perhaps why the mast look the same. There is 1 component of the LMV that is from Saab and that is the launch and recovery system of the RHIBs at the rear. Other equipment like guns and missiles are obviously supplied from foreign suppliers. Singapore goes for european hardware for navy as u can see the trend. Ship itself is locally as well as most of the systems. The LMV is modular and configurable for different missions. MCM is just 1 of the roles it can play. Others like patrol or support other warships in combat. HADR missions, SAR as well as medical, counter priacy basically patrol. They put the ship to the test quickly in one of their ads they displayed Mine countermeasure capability. There is a video by defencewebtv on youtube they did a video on LMV RSS Independence the first commissioned. They showed around the ship. The bridge was really sopfisticated i was surprise. Of course they did not show CIC. N Pls dont call me uncle 😂😂 im not old.

Sorry. Radar from saab. Thales provided the sub systems. Note that the mcmv 80 was officially revealed this uear during UDT expo 2017. LMV project was revealed in 2013 to the public so obviously they started the programme before that. If u check out saab website on the mcmv 80 they did mentioned on sg lmv way of construction by st marine.

Quote: Hybrid construction (steel/composite), with the superstructure and hull built in different materials, like the Singapore Navy’s Littoral Mission vesselsTaken from saab. Note that i do not know how plasma cutting works seems like a new way to construct ships. I would like to find out more info on the ship. Perhaps next year during the singapore airshow st engg will be the main exhibit there i can ask the staff of t

hey Dark Side aka Gamibibits...your mouth is just more and good in talking. Don't hide to anyone's name if your a true man and human being.
